I love these questions - “What does it mean to try to assess without context? What is there to evaluate if there’s no understanding of the life behind the submitted paper or project?” We don’t ask them enough.
Loved "what is there to evaluate if there's no understanding of the life behind the submitted paper or project" Natalie - so true, think I'm going to quote you in my final assignment in the assessments course!! P.S. also loved the conversation and if it got into salamanders, better yet. Truthfully, that conversation represented a little bit of the best part of life. Wish my cats could talk :)

Thanks for saying that - so much life gets lost in the letter/grade.

Ruth! Glad to know that something here might make it into your important work! And yes, those little moments of connection do mean so much right? 🐈🐈⬛
Best conversation!!
It really was! I could have taken it further - salamanders were also involved.
